After being trained in the Behavioral Services Department in the FBI National Academy I hit the streets. Then after some years of utilizing my skill set on the mean streets I now have discovered a new passion. I write. So what are all these mass shootings about? Read my short story . . . 'People Shooter'.
Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!"

How Do You Do It?
I was trained in the Behavioral Unit at the FBI National Academy. I apply these skills to my stories. I listen. I learn and then I write. This probably explains why my stories are ahead of the Headlines. I make every attempt at pulling no punches. Topics from mass shootings to sexual assaults are addressed.

Lost
Many establish a belief system and then defend it. No matter what. Loved ones who lost someone from gun violence, sound differently, than an individual who considers an assault weapon near and dear.

People Shooter
My latest story titled, The People Shooter, is the direct result of having to put up with the awful violence visiting us daily. I researched it, I asked hard questions and wondered. It's just my effort to contribute to a solution for a growing problem. Enough said?

People Shooter?
So why you may ask. I'd say it's high time the killing stops and that starts with understanding the problem. Australia did it and so can the United States. One story for people who want to understand. Who want to be heard.

Thanks for The Interest
Another great read! The Last Gargoyle!
Once again, Curt Rude has drawn from his life experiences as a law enforcement officer and has written an outstanding book that I could not put down. I cannot remember the last time I read until 2:00 a.m. to finish a book! Rude has great insight that shows in the dialogue between the characters, as well a personal knowledge of the Casper, WY area. Along with the great story of law and justice, Rude inserts phrases that are unique and fitting. Very refreshing. Keep up the great work Mr. Rude. I'm eagerly awaiting your next book.

Policing Done Right
Nashville Police made us proud. They stormed the school and ended the killing. Shame we lost more lives. This is one of them moments when a picture is worth a million words.

Two Shared Thoughts on 'The Bee Killer When Soldiers Cry'
Curt, thanks for sharing. When I was a Co . .ctional Officer it was mandatory we did welfare check on inmates classified with PTSD every 15 minutes. We had alot of them. Sometimes officers neglect that and we hear about suicides and lawsuits made by grieving families.
You f- - - - -g nailed it in the Bee Killer. My thanks. Soldiers take it in the shorts and no one is ever in on the know. Thanks buddy.

Columbine Survivor
A survivor of the Columbine Massacre, way back on April 20th 1999 has reached out me. I'll call him Mister D. He lives and works in Denver. He laid it out for me. I was stunned. I am currently putting together a school shooting story based on the reality of what it is we've become.

Truth and Nothing but The Truth
My stories involve human-beings at their worst. Seeing hopefully leads to understanding. I was a cop and had a front seat in the Arena of Murder and Mayhem. I tattle on the doers of wrong, to hopefully make the World a better place. You're invited to read away or listen to an audio book today.

Bumped into a Columbine Survivor
This gentleman, who still lives in Denver, was confused and running down a hallway. He could hear the gun shots. For some reason he reached down for a flipflop he had lost and one of the shooters stepped into the hallway and shot over him. The round killed a friend who was behind him. Guess another book is in the works.

The Thing Is

I Wrote it for The Sufferers
Curt thanks for writing "The Bee Killer'. People got to understand mental pain and what PTSD is really all about. When I was a correctional officer we had to check inmates suffering from this disorder every 15 minutes. We still had suicides and faced lawsuits my man.
